Notes on Surviving the Fire
'Savage, brilliant, merciless and mad as hell' FINANCIAL TIMES'A thriller's bones, a satire's glare, and a comeuppance story's anarchic spirit' NEW YORKER'Lives up to the hype' SUNDAY TIMES STYLENathan says he loves me because I let him see me, and he knows how hard that is. He appreciates that I let him in. I say I love him because he is not a dick, in a world full of dicks. Sarah Common is a survivor. She survived the brutal Maine winters where she learned to hunt; she survived the petty politics of the university where she teaches; she survived the fact that her attacker escaped justice and still walks free around campus. Or at least that's what she tells herself. Nathan was the only person who believed what happened to Sarah. And now Nathan is dead. For Sarah to survive once again, she must find out what happened to Nathan - and decide whether, this time, she should seek justice . . . or revenge.

I'll be thinking about this one for a while yet.' - ILANA MASAD, Los Angeles Times

After an arduous search for a new home, Elissa and her people settle in North Africa, and she is crowned Queen Dido: the ferocious and devoted ruler of her newly established city of Carthage. Soon a powerful trading hub, Carthage thrives under Dido's governance. But when a band of Trojan survivors, led by the valiant Aeneas, washes up on a nearby shore, Queen Dido is reminded of a promise she made long ago, never to trust or to love another again.

Heywood incorporates the myths and legends that surround this mysterious queen and presents a narrative that is both powerful and compelling' Laura Shepperson'A triumphant reclamation of the legend of Dido . . . Heywood brings Dido's story to vivid life, moving from the wealth of Tyre to the dusty plains of Carthage. In so doing, Heywood weaves an engaging yarn that restores the ancient queen to her rightful place of dignity' Luna McNamara'Heywood has once again crafted an excellent mythology reimagining. With an adept and expert hand, Dido is painted as a complex, strong heroine in a story she has long deserved. Through themes of love, loss and power, Heywood has brought the ancient world back to life in a tale that is equally as heartbreaking as it is wonderful' Claire M. Andrews

The End and the Beginning
A stunning tour de force of a novel based on the true story of a fourteen-year-old boy’s harrowing experience fleeing a Hitler youth camp with his best friend in the last days of the Second World War—perfect for readers of All the Light WeCannot See and The German Girl. At the start of the war, eight-year-old Max Bernot lives with his sister and parents in Lauterbach, Saarland, a narrow strip of territory between the French and German defence lines. His German father, Anton, and his French mother, Marguerite, do their best to shield Max and his sister, Anna, from Nazi violence, but in late 1944, their beloved godfather is executed in their garden by the SS, and Max, now thirteen, is conscripted in the Volkssturm. Less than a month later, Max flees a Hitler Youth camp in Bavaria with his best friend, Hans. His mission: to return home and tell his mother the truth about his godfather’s murder As he escapes, he sends postcards to his family that trace his fraught journey across a country in its death throes. Unbeknownst to Max, his mother is trapped in the German interior, coerced into working for a fanatical Nazi officer. Desperate to escape and reunite her family, Marguerite must first protect Anna from the sinister attentions of their captor, who could hold information on Max’s whereabouts even as Allied planes circle closer. Deftly interweaving the wartime stories of Max and Marguerite, The End and the Beginning maps the loss of innocence of a generation of children raised in the shadow of the Reich and follows the fate of one family, neither wholly French nor entirely German, who find themselves on the wrong side whichever way they turn.
He’s the Devil
'MAGNETIC, CLAUSTROPHOBIC, WICKEDLY ALIVE' LUCY ROSE, AUTHOR OF THE LAMB 'IF STEPHEN KING, OTTESSA MOSHFEGH AND JOHN WATERS HAD A BABY – ITS THIS BRILLIANT BOOK' JODIE HARSH 'HORNY. GORY. RELATABLE.' KIRSTY LOGAN FLATMATES ARE HELL… 'Massimo lived here now. And things had begun to happen. Sounds, smells, dreams. A private horror show. A usurper in my ordered world…' Simon has always been a good boy. He’s invariably employee of the month at the seasonal small plates restaurant where he works, he neurotically tidies his home, he keeps on top of repairs on behalf of his twenty-something, permanently-abroad landlord and tries to do right by everyone. But when his best and only friend, Josh, moves out of their shared flat, Simon is lonelier than ever – until in moves a new flatmate, the strange (and strangely sexy) Massimo. But Massimo’s brought something with him. Odd sounds emerge from Massimo’s room, smells of earth and meat drift through the corridor and Simon’s nights fill with disturbing and tantalising dreams. Massimo is awakening something in Simon, something wild and exciting and horrifying that could be the end of him – or maybe a new beginning. But whatever’s in Massimo, whatever’s in the flat, isn’t finished. It wants more … He's the Devil is a wickedly funny, chillingly suspenseful modern day horror story, painfully relatable to anyone who has ever had to share their living space with someone they'd honestly just rather not share it with.
What Does it Feel Like
Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumour growing in her brain.
As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again ? and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children ? she begins to recall what’s most important to her: long walks with her husband’s hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights and always buying that dress when she sees it.
Recounted in brief anecdotes, each one is an attempt to answer the type of impossible questions recognizable to anyone navigating the labyrinth of grief. This extraordinary novella is a celebration of life, shot through with warmth and humour – it will both break your heart and put it back together again.

Po nečekaném odchodu a smrti oblíbené chůvy Blanky má totiž Stella najednou úplně jiné chutě, záliby, dovednosti i temperament. Chováním i zjevem se začíná výrazně podobat právě Blance, pocházející z Arménie, ať už jde o používané obraty, chyby v angličtině, vzhled vlasů, rukopis nebo neustálou chuť na dušené jehněčí, a to navzdory dosavadnímu vegetariánství.
Charlotte, čekající druhé dítě a vyčerpaná těhotenstvím a častými nevolnostmi, je přesvědčená, že za Stellinou proměnou je nějakým způsobem Blanka. Že by Stellu posedla? Nebo se Stella stala svou bývalou chůvou? Nebo si tu chce Blančin duch něco vyřídit? Čím víc je Charlotte celou záležitostí pohlcená, tím víc je přesvědčená, že jen ona může svou dceru zachránit... I přesto, že se záhy ukáže, že její muž považuje všechna její podezření pouze za konstrukt její mysli.
